"Fly" is a song by American rock band Sugar Ray. It appears on their 1997 album Floored twice: one version with reggae artist Super Cat (track four) and the other without (track 13). The song was serviced to US radio in May 1997.

"Fly" became the band's first hit, holding the No. 1 spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart for four consecutive weeks and spending eight weeks at No. 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It was ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 because a physical CD single was not released commercially in the US. The song also reached No. 1 on Canada's RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart and No. 31 on Australia's ARIA Singles Chart.

As a result of the success of "Fly", Floored sold well and was certified double platinum. The song was included on VH1's countdown of the "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s" at number 52.^[1]
